Ephemeral
Trembling lip
Biting bullets while you embroider white lilies in pale flesh
Down a glass of temerity to calm the nerves
He always leaves
just enough love to keep you hungry,
just enough bruises to keep you quiet
You'd leave, but he's all the temerity in the world
Lily, A Peace Image
"...down a glass of temerity..." lovely way of saying - enjoyed the bitter and the sweet - allets
